ADVENTURE TRAVELERS TRAGIC RISK A REMINDER TO TAKE PRECAUTIONS
By Jason Jourdan
Adventure travelers have taken social media by storm to showcase their jaw-dropping experiences from around the world with their devoted followers. Finding the perfect camera angle to highlight these adventures can often be risky – from hanging off a rocky ledge to balancing on a jagged cliff or plummeting into a lagoon, these are all types of high-adrenaline situations in which we find these adventure seekers.
Triptime® Insurance is one crucial travel necessity that all thrill-seekers should secure but is not often discussed. Searching online for the best travel gear will warrant mentions of the best camera and the best hiking boots – travel medical insurance is as important as remembering your passport and is becoming adventure travel’s hottest accessory.
Last week the world lost three inspiring adventure-travel pioneers – Megan Scraper, Ryker Gamble and Alexey Lyakh. While attempting to secure the perfect shot on location at Shannon Falls in British Columbia, Megan slipped into the current from the edge of the scenic waterfall. Gamble and Lyakh attempted to dive in to save their friend but were unable to overpower the rapids. These members who are affiliated with the travel group High on Life will be remembered by their awe-inspiring, yet sometimes controversial shots taken during throughout their travels around the world. Accidental death coverage under a policy like Triptime® Insurance would ensure situations like these do not negatively impact the financials of families who are already dealing with the tragic loss of a loved one.
Triptime® Insurance provides additional protection and peace of mind throughout your worldwide adventures to ensure you are covered for adventure-related injuries and illnesses, medical evacuation, accidental death & dismemberment coverage and much more including rescue coordination with our worldwide partners.
